(E) A licensee's renewal application is timely if the licensee submits the properly-completed application to the board via the board's renewal system (the link may be found at http://mybeltss.age.ohio.gov) or via mail before the expiration date of the licensee's certificate of registration.

(F) The board shall only consider a renewal application to be properly completed if the licensee meets all of the following conditions:

(1) The licensee answered all required questions on the application.

(2) The licensee completed at least forty continuing education (CE) hours that are approved by the board or the national association of long-term care administrator boards for the biennial renewal period.

(3) The licensee completed at least eight additional continuing education hours for the health services executive license renewal for the biennial renewal period.

(4) The licensee completed one continuing education course dealing with ethics/professional standards of practice each renewal period.

(5) The licensee listed the complete continuing education course titles and accurate approval numbers in the renewal application.

(G) The board publishes BELTSS form RA2022 (rev., 2022) as the paper renewal application. The form may be obtained by calling or emailing the board office. It is the licensee's responsibility to obtain the renewal form and invoice and file a timely renewal if the licensee does not wish to renew online.

(H) Untimely renewals are subject to a penalty of fifty dollars per calendar quarter up to a maximum of two hundred dollars. This is in addition to the required renewal fee.

(J) A licensee who renews both the nursing home administrator and health services executive licenses late will only be charged the late renewal penalty for the nursing home administrator license, provided both licenses are brought back into good standing at the same time. If the nursing home administrator license is renewed an the health services executive license remains in a late renewal status, the health services executive late renewal penalty will apply going forward until it is brought back into compliance or abandoned.

(K) If the licensee does not meet the conditions in paragraphs (A) to (E) of this rule, the licensee's application is untimely and not valid. The licensee may not practice nursing home administration or health services executive administration until all renewal conditions are met.

(L) The licensee shall renew the certificate of registration with the appropriate number of CE hours and payment of all renewal and penalty fees within one year of the expiration date listed on the certificate of registration, or the license shall be considered abandoned and the licensee shall reapply for licensure and the law in force at the time of such new application shall govern.
